There is a lot of roads marked on g'maps and others that just don't exist,
you'd get lost in the noise.

Yup, exactly, I more or less know what is there when I was surveying it with a
GPS, but that doesn't help the next person, for roads that partially exist I
put a barrier in, but that doesn't help for complete roads that don't exist.

Something that came to mind reading your reply was railway=abandoned, it
doesn't render but it's still marked, there's no way we'd get agreement upon
this from the main list they're still going in circles over trees and paths.
Something like highway=abandoned or highway=phantom, I'm not advocating to copy
from other maps, but if you have mapped out streets near by it should be
possible to approximate rough location in OSM database.
Thoughts?
